Valentine’s Day is a few days away, and I have the perfect craft activity for kids. Wondering what to do with all the broken color crayons? I have the ideal activity to reuse those broken pieces of crayons to create a beautiful heart-shaped crayon. These beautiful heart-shaped crayons also make an excellent alternative to swap out for a sweet treat for your children’s classroom party.
The heart-shaped crayons are super easy to make, and my kids loved making them. After they came out of the oven, my girls marveled at how beautiful their creations had come out so much that they didn’t want to use them! Your kids will love coloring with these crayons because each stroke is a burst of colors on the page. Have fun!!
